Assignment 2: Creating a Table and Learning Shortcuts/Hot Keys
The TABLE feature in Word provides a structure of column and rows for data. Tables are best used to display information such as schedules, rosters and listings. Your class schedule could be easily read in a table. The roster of the basketball team that included players’ names and their uniform numbers would be easily displayed in a table. A table would be a good choice for TV programs and their corresponding channel.
Today you will create a table in Word for Keyboard Shortcuts. Your table will begin as two columns and one row. Be sure to include the column headings in the top row of your table. The TAB key will move the insertion point from cell to cell. The TAB key will create a new row from the last cell in the table. You can use the Insert Table command to choose the table dimensions and format before you insert the table into a document.
Today we will begin working with Tables. You will:
create your own KEYBOARD SHORTCUT list using the TABLES feature in Word
learn different formatting techniques to make your table attractive (bold, underline, italics, colors, etc)
learn to sort data in a table
Your task this period is to create a Table with two columns. Insert a header of your choice including your name, date and the class period. Use the handout listing Keyboard Shortcuts and enter the information carefully. SAVE the file to the Baker/Schmidt/YOUR CLASS/Word/ Shortcuts folder as follows: yourlastnameshortcut (example: schmidtshortcut).
Another goal we have is to learn the important shortcuts. You will have a quiz on these shortcuts at a later date.
Assignment 3: Tables Continued
Basic Tables Use the textbooks in the cupboards (Yellow) or the Internet to find the appropriate definition for each word. Many of these words have multiple meanings. For example: Table does not refer to a piece of furniture. If you're searching on the internet, you might search "what is a table in microsoft word?" Please choose your definitions carefully.
Create a table using the following words.
Left column – 2” Right column 4” in width (HINT: you can "grab" the cells and the ruler will appear near the top of the document. You can then change the width.)
Include a main heading and a column heading
Bold words in left column (CTRL + B)
Sort words in alphabetical order
TERMS: Table Column Row Border Main heading Column heading Auto fit Table style Table column width Banded columns Merge Split Table tools Shading Sorting Converting tables
Assignment 4: Customizing a Table
Sometime you want to customize a table. This might mean splitting a tables cells, merging them, or perhaps adding or subtracting rows and columns. You can also change the alignment, the direction the table runs, the margins, and auto fit the cells to optimize how much size it takes up.
HOW TO SPLIT OR MERGE CELLS: If you double click the circled table icon it will open up the table tools in the ribbon. There you will see various options for customizing your table. These include merging or splitting cells. If you choose to merge a cell this way, you must highlight the cells you wish the merge, and then click "merge." If you wish to split a cell this way, click your curser in the cell you wish to split, then click "split cells."
HOW TO ADD or DELETE ROWS AND COLUMNS To add a row or column, simply click in an existing cell and then choose to add one above/below or left/right. To delete a row, highlight the cells (a row or column) you wish to remove, and then click delete.
TABLE TOOLS in the RIBBON
ALTERNATE WAY TO MERGE CELLS: you can also merge cells by simply highlighting the cells you wish to merge, right clicking, and then selecting to merge cells.
ALTERNATE WAY TO SPLIT CELLS: you can also split cells by simply highlighting the cell(s) you wish to split, right clicking, and then selecting to split cells.
While a standard table style is fine, sometimes it adds to a presentation when you change the table style. When you are in table tools, you can choose from a variety of Table Styles. They change the color, borders, and patterns displayed. It is important to make sure that you only choose styles that allow your table to still be easily read. If necessary, you might also choose to add borders to ensure your table is still readable.
So, what should you do with all this information? Duh, you should make a customized table of your Baker class schedule. Below is my Baker schedule. Obviously yours will have different teachers, classes, and rooms listed. Your table cells should be formatted the same though. When you are done with your schedule, save it in our folder in the word folder under schedules as "Schedule - Your Name"
Assignment 5: Assorted Word Tools
There are many other tools offered in word that, while perhaps not worthy of the own lesson, are important additions one can make to their documents. Look at the tools in the two screen shots of the Ribbon below. In your journal define each tool listed in the "terms to review" section directly below the picture. Why is this tool useful? Finally, give an example of how you might use it on an assignment.
